Chris Bosh...Play along. You are...

[EC123]

...the GM, Bosh is a free agent. He's from Texas, but he played college ball at GT.

With what they already have at other positions, an elite post player might make the Bobcats a top three team in the East next season.

What's it going to take to get him in Charlotte? Who do you let go, who do you get rid of?

An alternate universe where miracles do happen.

[superb1]

in that universe i propose nazr and chandler expiring contracts or diaw and nazr

[Toocool]

Sure we can have Bosh. When pigs fly. He wants maximum contract, we don't have the money. Only guys I want gone from this team are Graham and Diop. Everyone else is fine in my books.

Who doesn't?

The Bobcats have more than enough expendable parts, but of course they probably don't have the revenue stream right now since they are losing money. Don't know how the cap factors in, or if it does. I'm not playing GM with money.

Only the following guys ARE NOT "expendable":

Wallace
Jackson
Felton
Thomas
Augustine

Everyone else is expendable. Expendable doesn't mean they should all be dumped because you need players to have a team, but a few of any of those not listed could go, especially any two or three of the Chandler, Muhammad, Diaw, Ratliff, and Diop group.

If Diaw comes in next season at least in equal shape to when he was in Phoenix, I'd be willing to move him to the not expendable group, but as long as he's out of shape, I think he's lazy and worth dumping if Bosh would come to Charlotte if we had the money.

Felton
Jackson
Wallace
Thomas
Bosh

That starting line up could get along just fine without an out of shape Diaw.

[spectre]

It's not what we have to offer, it's convincing Bosh Charlotte is where he wants to be. The ball is in his court, not the Raptors.

My first thought would be to start out with MJ wining and dining his agent, but after looking that up he also happens to be the same agent for Flash (Henry Thomas - Creative Artists Agency).

After seeing that my vote goes to Slam's alternate universe.

[ALong13]

I'd trade Chandler's expiring for a first or 2nd rounder. Chandler's picking it up, but we need the money to re-sign Felton and Thomas

[SWedd523]

I would have to disagree with some on my whole expendable lists:

Wallace (has to stay, first all-star, fan favorite, franchise face)
Felton/Augustin (Together, they provide 20/10/5 with solid defense)
Tyrus/UPS/Hendo (all are young and show that they can be at least solid talent)
Nazr (has proven that he can be an extremely effective security blanket, I think we should keep him for the remainder of his contract and look to resign him to fill Theo's shoes)


The rest can go. Even Jack--he's old and has a contract that gets worse. His value is probably the highest now as it will be for the rest of his career so we should look to move him to a team for some young talent.

[GoBobs]

I would move Jack for Bosh in a heartbeat. Nazr too even though I like Nazr. However if I were the Raptors I would rather have David Lee then either of those guys because he is younger.

[ALuhrs704]

aint no way in hell we can get bosh. he is pairing up one of the other max free agents. i wish. but i think we can get something for tyson next year for sure. but nazi not being expendable????? c'mon i love him but he is older and battered.

[docend24]

Swine flu?

[Toocool]

Swine flu?

Ironically the swine flu could be found from pigs, but you couldn't get it from hogs, boars, and various species of pig i.e brown pig, black pig, pink pig, brown pig with blue spot, orange with white stripes pig etc. They call it "Swine" flu but it was only passed from human to human, it only originated from the piggies.

Or else we can all just blame Miss Piggy and kill her. Stupid muppet.

[Twan's Kin]

Work to get Carlos Boozer in the summer instead of Bosh.

[EC123]

Work to get Carlos Boozer in the summer instead of Bosh.

Boozer = role player compared to Bosh.

Boozer makes Charlotte a definite 3 to 6 seed in the East next season.

[Toocool]

I would give up Diaw for Boozer. Both around the same age, but Boozer is much more consistent. Al Jefferson would be awesome also. The one I definitely don't want is Z-Bo. His face would scare all our fans away.
